If mummies not happy babies not happy. I think it is important to find ways of keeping yourself happy as the whole family seems to be effected depending on mothers mood! I know its not always easy to 'be happy' sometimes you may need a few ideas here are some please add your own I need ideas too.
1)Ask partner/friend if they will look after baby/children for you for 1/2 hour each night so you can have personal time to relax or take a walk try to make this the same time each night so you,baby and partner get into a routine. try to get completly away so you won't be tempted to 'help out' baby and partner will be fine for 1/2 hour.
2)The housework can wait! don't stress yourself out trying to have a perfect house you are far better off to have a happy baby and a happy mother!
3)Keep life simple you don't need to attend all family/friends gatherings and other events try to stay at home as much as possible and allow yourself and baby to establish a routine friends and family can come to you!
4)EASY MEALS make sure to eat well but have a supply of easy meals on hand for the times where 'it just doesn't happen' there are plenty of quick meal ideas - frozen stir fry vegetables&sauce just out chicken/pork pieces and noodles. When you get a chance prepare extra meals to freeze these can be life savers!
let me know what you think! and add your own ideas I'd love more easy recipes.
